Satellite A100 - 495 (PSAA9) - CPU and GPU upgrade

Hi all

I have a few questions.
I have a Satellite A100-495 with 2 GB of Ram, Core2Duo 1.83 GHz (2 x; T5600) and an NVIDIA Geforce 7600go.
I want to spend the CPU and the GPU. Is this possible?
I don't want to do. I am looking for a store (if possible in Germany) that can do this.

If its possible, what it costs? And what store can I speak?

If this is not possible-> why? It is fixed; It getting too hot?

What solution do I? I don't want to buy a new laptop.

Kind regards
Dave

Update CPU and GPU on laptop computers is complicated enough or is not possible. At first, I must say that GPU is part of the motherboard and graphics card can not be upgraded at all.

What about the CPU upgrade? Toshiba authorized service providers will not do that and the CPU upgrade is not supported. Few people on this forum have talked about CPU upgrade, but for me the risk is too high. All hardware components are adapted to the work well together and also to reduce the risk of damaging the material. The BIOS is also suitable for the specific hardware configuration. The values of the fans are also tested and there is no risk of overheating.

Change CPU, you will get no more powerful laptop. Modern processors are powerful enough and a few MHz more won't do anymore difference. What you can do is to increase the RAM to the maximum level - 4 GB. That s all what you should do and your laptop runs a lot faster.

Also be careful on the configuration of the operating system. This will also help make your laptop faster than before.

By the way: for operations you need more power? What you want to do with your laptop?

  • Mac Pro CPU and GPU upgrades

    Hello, I am looking to buy a Mac Pro 2008 and had a few questions. 1. I found I can pass of say a 2 X 2.80 GHz 2 x 3.0 GHz CPU, but I looked up a few processors (from my MacBook Air i5 2013) and one very well like i5 Core 6600 k in guides and found compared to my only MacBook, it is barely faster , but compared to the 6600 k, is pretty lame. So I would like to know if I can put a more modern, faster CPU in the Mac Pro. 2. I saw you pass GPU also through multiple models of Mac Pro, but a similar question, wondering if I can swap in a GPU more modern. I'd be by accepting a list of compatible CPU / GPU if it works.

    Thank you!

    However, your options are limited since the latest processors will not functionally work in a 2008 although they will be inserted into the socket

    -For graphics, updated map see:

  • Re: Satellite M30X - can the CPU and GPU be improved?

    The chip CPU & models M30X display may be set to level and what?
    Thanks, Pete

    Hi Pete!

    I n t have good news for you...
    The CPU can theoretically but improved but Toshiba doesn't support this. The point is that the BIOS maybe couldn't recognize the new processor.
    In addition the graphics chip can t be updated because it s soldered onto the motherboard.

    Can you give an exact describtion of the problem with drivers?
    So first of all, you can try to download the drivers again from the download page of Toshiba here:

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

    And make sure that all windows updates are installed. SP2 is important to be installed for some devices.

    The installation is completed normally (went through all the steps, wrote to all 21 blocks) without any error, but after the reboot, I noticed that it is now displayed at the Toshiba logo screen.

    The blue progress bar moves twice but got caught then about 1/3 of the way through.

    Hello

    I posted this already in another view about a similar BIOS problem.

    To me, it seems that something was wrong during the process of updating the BIOS, and if you're lucky, the flashing of the ROM BIOS might help you.

    As far as I know that you would need a BIOS version of special rescue and the drive to reflash the module ROM that you do not and therefore, you will need to contact the ASP in your country for assistance.

    This isn't a real solution that you expect, but it s an advice how to get a solution
    This is why I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country for the control of the laptop

  • Satellite A100-912 (PSAA9E) a device is missing after installing Vista

    Dear,

    I recently received a Satellite A100 - 912 (PSAA9E). Windows XP Home was preinstalled operating system. But when I installed Vista Ultimate, the Device Manager shows that a device is missing pilot. Its properties show that it is located on PCI, device 6 7 Bus and function 3.

    I downloaded the drivers all listed for the toshiba site system. So, can someone tell me what device it is and where I can find the driver for it? All devices such as the display, sound, modem, lan/wlan, player card, fingerprint reader, buttons of media multi burner Super multi and touch to touch work well.

    Hey Buddy,

    I Don t really know what device it is, but you can for example try a linux live cd. The live cd lists you start a list of pci devices so you can find that materials are in your machine.

    Alternatively, you can perform a search in google for 'list of pci Vista' and you might find some pci list of tools that can help you get information about unknown material thjat.

  • Satellite A100-495 - Intel 3945abg wireless network card cannot find wifi networks

    Greetings,

    I have some problems with networks wireless on my laptop Satellite A100-495.

    The problem is: my wireless adapter (intel / pro 3945abg) doesn't seem to find wireless networks. If I portable place very close to my router wireless (such as 1 m) - connection can be established. If I move away (~ 5 m)-no connection or 'very bad' quality and constantly broken. Other notebooks I've tried still have "very good" quality at the same range.

    This happens with other routers as well. And I can not any sign of wi - fi in my Uni (my colleagues have no problem with their machines).

    I tried to play up with some parameters. Reinstalled adapter. Downloaded the latest drivers. Nothing helps.

    A tip? Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    Something like that happened to me a long time ago.
    I used the Wlan configuration option to own Windows. For several months, I use the Intel Proset configuration utility to establish the WiFi connection!
    It works!

    In addition, I have disabled the power Wlan option in the Wlan card properties save and adjust the intensity of the signal at top. I remember, in the advanced properties, you can find the 802.11 option preamble. The value is Long and short on my laptop.

  • Satellite A100-495: strange starting problems & freezes

    Hey guys.

    I recently got my Satellite A100-495 back from repair - it had a power problem (no led was flashing and it does not start of course). They told me that the motherboard has been renewed.

    Now, I have the following two issues:

    (1) it freezes suddenly sometimes in windows after 1-2 hours of operation without problems and I have to hold the power button for a few seconds restart

    (2) I press the power on button, LEDS are underway but the screen remains black, sometimes becomes gray, hard drive makes noise, fans going on but it just does not start, do not show anything. After some tests, I have to start but once again crashes after a couple hours of functioning properly.

    Can someone tell me what is the problem here?

    Bad memory (RAM) can cause this.

    If you can get it to start, test the memory with Memtest on a bootable CD. www.memtest.org

    Otherwise, try the combination of the different memory card. If you have 2 sticks of memory, try with one stick, then try the other stick, try different locations.
    Often the memory pins can oxidize and cause problems. To clean the pins, use a pencil eraser/rubber and rub the pins of module memory.
    Be careful when you handle the memory, you can zap easily memory with static electricity. To make sure that you are connected to the earth when the memory handling.

  • Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on the Toshiba start screen after BIOS update

    Hello.

    Yesterday, I made an update of the BIOS on my Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E 03Z00QGR with the appropriate flash:

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 153 & selProduct = 624 & langua ge = 17 & selOS = 10 & selType = all & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = userMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = all & selectedLanguag e = 17 & type = all & page = 1 & ID = 58477 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42

    BIOS - 20070709111839.zip

    After flashing, the machine restarted automatically, but unfortunately it keeps now suspended from Thoshiba welcome screen. Also by pressing F2 or F12 will not change anything. It seems that the BIOS is damaged.

    I saw that in the BIOS package are delivered the two files (s10gm590.rom and s10pm590.rom) flash. But just the execution of the BIOS590MP.exe SanAntonion10 a .vbs script starts decides which automatically selects and loads a flash file. Maybe she chose the wrong?

    What should I do now? Is there a way to restore the BIOS, or do I have to send my laptop?

    Thanks in advance

    Find the nearest authorized service partner (you can find one by using this link: http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_byModel.asp)

  • Satellite A100 - 153 (PSAA9E) - how to update display drivers?

    Hello!
    I need a current display for my ATI Radeon Mobility X 1600 driver in my laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-153 PSAA9E.

    I can not install the Catalyst Control Center (and therefore the latest driver). It says to me "this driver is not compatible with your system. Contact the manufacturer.
    In the magnificent... download section are the only drivers of 2006 for my X 1600. Anyone know how I can install current drivers? Is it possible to avoid the 'blocking of Toshiba' for display drivers?

    Thanks in advance

    Hey Buddy!

    The display on the original ATI site driver is not designed for graphics cards for laptop and so that you can install t. In addition he doesn t have an overheating protection and therefore can damage your graphics card! It s on your own risk!
    If you want the ATI driver, you must use Mobility Modder. Then you can install it, but don t forget s about your risks and perils and you will lose the warranty.

    The drivers from the Web from Toshiba site definitely work for your laptop then why you want to install a different driver?

    Good luck!

    Satellite A100 - 192 PSAA9 with card ATI X 1600.

    Despite the fact that I have installed the latest driver on Toshiba support site, screen darkens (off) from time to time for no apparent reason.

    I turn off the computer by pressing the button for a few seconds.

    When I turn on the computer, the screen is still dark, even if the computer starts.

    Only after I take the battery from the computer and on new and then turn on the computer, the screen is OK.

    I could not know if it's a hardware or software problem.

    Computer is one and a half years.

    I wanted to know if anyone has had such an experience before taking the computer to the service center.

    Do you use the Toshiba original pre-installed factory image?
